Actually I don't quite understand. It says in the T&Cs that deductible applies, but they did not state how much deductibles and under what conditions do they apply... Is it stated when you purchase the complete cover?
Use water!Has anyone installed the XtremeGuard Carbon Fiber back Protector?
How do you do the installation?
Can only buy by calling their hotlinesorry guys

Hi
Anyone tested the transfer speed of the SP3's USB 3.0 port?
I ran 2 tests transferring 131 GB of files each time from the external 2.5 inch SSD enclosures (SATA III to USB 3.0) using 2 different brands - STARTECH and HOTWAY PROBOX - both supporting UASP. Transfer is direct without going through a hub.
The result was disappointing for the transfer speed is about 245 MB/s. My SSD is the SAMSUNG 850 PRO 512 GB.
I thought with UASP the transfer speed using USB 3.0 should reach about 450 MB/s?
I think the 2 different SSD enclosures cannot be wrong. So is there something wrong with the SP3 USB 3.0 port's device driver?
Any advise? Thanks
(I started a thread to discuss this
)
When using earphones on the SP3, when I pause a video, after 30 seconds there will be popping sounds at a constant 2-3 times per second.
Anyone got this problem?
I found thread in another forum discussing this:
Audio Popping via Headphone Jack? | Microsoft Surface Forums
Tried installing realtek audio drivers but the problem is still there.
Register your surface pro here at this link

This will show you an extended warranty square box. If you need to purchase that you might need to give Microsoft a call to their hotline, it will be much more faster and painless.
BTW, it's only add 1 more year + 2 accidental damage. The existing warranty coverage without this plan is 1 year by default. so 1 + extended warranty 1 year is equal 2 years with +2 accident damage protection.
Hope this helps.
Have you tried muting the mic?
First of all, what's the maximum sustained write speed of the SSD? Is it around 250MB/s? What about Read speed? The transfer speed will always follow the slowest link.
Have you tried it on a Desktop PC? Was the test done with the SP3 on battery power?
call microsoft store is 229
buy via surface.com is 214
like what miragez said....
call microsoft store, save me from headache and vomit BLOOD...
The Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB ssd spec is here
Samsung SSD 850 PRO Overview | Samsung SSD
and this ssd has been reviewed widely on the net so its performance is of no question.
I tested it with my SP3 connected to the ac mains. The average speed of transfer (Read) from the ssd to the SP3 is about 245MB/s. With the ssd enclosures supporting UASP this shouldn't be the case. It should be about 450MB/s.
According to what I read from the net it has something to do with the USB 3.0 host controller driver of the SP3 in supporting UASP and Windows 8.1. Even the SP2 faced this issue of slow transfer speed of its USB 3.0 port.
I think there's some compatibility issue between those enclosures releasd earlier supporting UASP and the USB host controller of the SP3.
FI I have written to STARTECH with photos asking for an explanation why their enclosure supporting UASP is performing so badly. I'm still waiting for a reply.
I'll be testing another ssd enclosure also supporting UASP when it arrives.
Yes call until vomit blood. For me, I was lucky that one of e CSO replied to me via email to follow up on accessories enquiry,I took e opportunity to ask if she can help me purchase e complete warranty. I explain my ordeal through email to her. After about 10 emails exhange and one phone call, all was done and dusted. All within a day. I just can't understand why they don't have email enquiry. It's damn tiring to repeat e same old stuff to every CSO that ans my call.
Btw, e SGD$214 is before Gst.
